Welcome To Illinois
external image nunst019.gif You may think that Illinois is a boring state in the middle of the United States, but trust me, it's so much more. There is virtually no water in Illinois right? Wrong! This is because of the exhilarating water parks there. The only food is farm food and naturally grown food so everyone thinks. But if you take a closer look you will discover the luxurious restaurants with all kinds of foods to try. All the farms leave no space for resorts is the minds of people, though this is so not true. So get your stuff packed up and head on down to Illinois.
